New contrast agent could make MRIs safer
Mass General researchers have taken a key step forward in developing a new, possibly safer contrast agent for use in MRI exams.
The Department of Radiology has 11 clinical divisions that are staffed by radiologists who specialize in the part of the body under study. Thanks to their advanced training and singular focus, they are experts in spotting conditions that affect that part of the body.
Clinical Divisions
Abdominal Imaging
The Division of Abdominal Imaging offers a full range of diagnostic services for patients with disorders in the abdomen and pelvis.
Breast Imaging
The Division of Breast Imaging offers comprehensive breast evaluation services, including diagnostic and mammography screening.
